Weeping may endure for a night, but JOY comes in the morning.

What We Do

The Grove Schoombee Foundation NPC was established in 2022 with the aim of making a positive impact on the lives of vulnerable children in South Africa.

Daybreak House for Babies is a distinguished facility dedicated to providing comprehensive care for infants aged between 0 to 2 years. Our mission is to ensure a nurturing and secure environment for these precious infants as they eagerly await placement in their potential permanent families.

The Grové Schoombee Foundation supports children with life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses through its Hamba Nawe Project, a paediatric palliative care initiative in Pretoria. Through Hamba Nawe, the Foundation provides compassionate medical support, practical care and emotional encouragement to children and their families navigating complex health journeys. By mobilising donors, partners and healthcare professionals, the Foundation helps ensure that every child receives dignified, holistic care during some of the most challenging seasons of their lives.

Since November 2022, The Grove Schoombee Foundation has been supporting children who were rescued from abusive and neglected environments. These children started attending school in January 2023 and require special needs schooling, emotional therapy, and medical attention to recover from their traumatic experiences.

    Behind the Foundation

    Grové taught us we are not defined by the bad things that happen to us. Diagnosed with colon cancer in 2020, he learned through his illness that every day is a gift.

    Daybreak House

    In South Africa at least 2.8 million children are orphans – that is roughly 14% of all children in South Africa.

    Daybreak House is a safe haven for vulnerable babies – helping them towards a brighter tomorrow.
